IGT 8/8/2012 MIA @ NYM: Wear The Road Grays

[G-Fafif]

Mets on 8/8 will attempt to win at home for the first time since 7/7. C'mon, honor the Kid.

[Ceetar]

Uh, this is the Mets...

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Time to revive this IGT

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Stranding Giovanni Stantoni at second would be a good thing.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

And so it is.

Edgy, Valdespin is in the 6-hole with Beans Baxter second behind Tejada. Seems to make sesne.

[ashie62]

I am not kahnfident...

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Well, at least Thole cleared the pitcher. Keep 'em close, Stretch, and Tejada starts the big rally next inning.

Yeah, Mets! Woooooooooooo! LGM! YGB! Wooooooooooooo!!!!!

(sits back down and switches to the Olympics, with the Mets in the little P-I-P window)

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Aaaaaaaaaaaand... it's 7-0. Stanton with his second HR of the game.

I'm closing the little window. Marlins circling the bases are blocking the hurdlers.

[Fman99]

Well that went to shit, eh?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Posting in this IGT made me feel like the guy I used to see on 57th Street near Broadway back in the early '80s who would stand out there in the summer heat wearing a leather bomber jacket and a canteen and sing opera.

[Frayed Knot]

Hey, a lead-off double!
We're already on our way to stranding two runners this inning too!!

IP H R ER BB K HR C. Young 4.1 7 7 7 3 4 3

Not winning with this kinda stuff.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Get this team a steak sandwich or something. I'm fairly certain they're anemic.

[metsmarathon]

oh yeah, there was a mets game on tonight.
let me see how they did.

oh....




i guess there was no game tonight afterall.

[turns off internet]

[G-Fafif]

Goddamn, that was awful. What made it worse was TC before the game weaving excuses into his "what's wrong with the team, Terry?" answers. Something about injuries; something about other teams being good; something about we're in games, we're never blown out. Well, two of those three went by the boards tonight, and as far as injuries, shut up. This ain't 2009, that ain't gonna fly.

Except maybe that an injury opened the door to Chris Young.

[Frayed Knot]

That's 4 losses in the last 5, and to two of the worst teams in the NL

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'll repeat what I said last night, for emphasis: this team that just took this home series from-- and threatens to sweep-- Los Mets just held an in-season fire sale and is looking ahead to next year.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Let 'em eat steak.

There's always money in the steak sandwich stand.

[Guest themetfairy]

At least the evening wasn't a total loss -



Thanks to G-Fafif for texting in that it was MK's birthday!

[ashie62]

I guess the Buffalo shuffle stops running properly at mid season.

Seriously, whoever runs this team next year, just do better, much better. People pay money to watch this.
